Baked beans.....if I didn't have much time, I'd buy 2 or 3 large cans of Bush's baked beans - put them in an aluminum pan, add a couple slices of slightly pre-cooked bacon on top and bake them. I know that's the easy way, and some would rather make something home made. Either way, you can't go wrong with sweet and smokey baked beans! They're good either hot or room temperature.

@jannabelle1 I like to mix the big can of grillin beans Bush's makes with a can of their original baked beans and maybe a can of regular kidney beans or black beans, add a good squirt of ketchup, another one of yellow mustard, and an equal amount of maple syrup, then put the bacon on top and bake, and put under the broiler if you need to to crisp the bacon..

In this heat, no mayo..............if at all possible.

I never remember that because I never put the food outside in warm weather and in the summer it's COLD in my house!

@YouGoGirl1 once my cherry tomatoes start to ripen, I'll be making your BLT salad.

I like to make creamy cucumber salad in the summer.

For an easy dessert....

But the mini cream puffs they sell in the freezer dept, some strawberries, kabob skewers and a can of chocolate frosting.

On the skewers alternate a mini cream puffs with a strawberry. Add a bit of milk to the frosting. Put that into a baggie, but off the top and drizzle it on the kabobs. Instead of frosting chocolate could probably be used also.

That's what I was just going to say. My family has barbeques all the time and I'm always asked to bring the same thing - homemade mac n cheese in an old Pyrex Portable that I have. You can still make the same thing but with a vinaigrette base instead of mayo and as for what to put it in - lots of disposable containers where you don't have to worry about retrieving a dish!
